How is Your Heart Pt2

"What matters most is how well you walk through the fire"

I connect to this because I also focus on how well I can handle a problem after it occurs.

Interim Report

Before I am beaten unconscious I would like to explain how marks are evaluated in English 10. Rather than having a letter dictate my performance my peers read and provide feedback for my posts, as a result I have no concrete mark yet. I believe I am doing reasonably well but if you would like to see for yourself you can view my blog at http://gurbazkalerenglish10.blogspot.ca/?m=1. 

Tattoo

One of the ten gurus of the Sikh religion,Guru Gobind Singh Ji, had a pet falcon named Baz. This falcon was used to deliver the messages of the guru and aid him in combat, making it respected among the Sikhs. My parents chose to name me after Baz by taking "Guru" and "Baz" and making "Gurbaz" with the hopes that I would grow up and spread the message of peace and equality like my namesake. I chose to illustrate a falcon bearing a scroll to symbolify a free minded spirit carrying words of wisdom to those in need. The quote I wrote in Punjabi means "When the sun shines everyone shines with you, but when it sets even your shadow leaves you". This means that when your going through good times everyone wants to be a part of it but when you require care everyone leaves you like your shadow leaves. 

Extended Metaphor

"Inhale deep like the words of my breath

I never sleep, 'cause sleep is the cousin of death"-Nas, NY State of Mind

There is a metaphor in the first line when he says he inhales deep like the words of his breath. He is explaining how the hits he takes on his blunt have the same deep meanings his words carry. Never sleeping is his way of saying that he's never caught off guard in the violent streets of New York otherwise he'll be killed. 

Literary Term:Suspense

A state or feeling of excited or anxious uncertainty about what may happen.

Myers-Briggs Personality Test

I think the results of the Myers-Briggs personality test are very accurate in capturing my thinking and behaviour. Keeping things to myself is something I do often and only confide in select few people. I am open to new ideas and don't stress too much over having fixed plans preferring to be flexible with my agenda.
